Can anyone give me some help on how to set my camera (C-5050Z)for a good macro? I can't seem to get it. I'm trying to take pictures of the corals in my aquarium. Thanks so much!

KidK9:How do I adjust the slave flash? Thanks Jim.
jlyle:I assume you mean supermacro? If you are in macro mode, you won't be able to achieve focus closer than 8 inches from the subject. With supermacro, you can get as close as 1 inch, but the flash won't fire except in slave. In slave, you can adjust the light output from 1 to 10. A focusing light will help the autofocus.
Since the water is crystal clear, I don't think using the zoom is going to diminish the quality at all. Ever thought about using a black light on them for photos?KidK9:I'm shooting my nano-tank, a 7gal minibow. All corals are 6"-12" away or even less if I put my lens up to the glass.
Aw Shucks....I'll be sure to tell Beast you said so!Thanks so much for the help DeeGod(dess).
